I have created access2K application with 4 clients (forms+query+macro+reports) residing on workstations and database on server. I have created MDE of 3 frontends but unable to do so on one computer. When I goto Tools->Database Utilities->Make MDE File... (Disabled)
Its disabled I cannot continue so no error message. Any idea?

I am running access 2000 9.0.2720. I wanted to create an MDE file but every time I attempt I get the message 'unable to create an MDE file'. Any advice?
I was able to create a MDE database from .MDB file (1900 KB) using Access2000 but not on the other database (5000 KB) I followed the steps (under tool -database utilities- make MDE file), the message box shown " Microsoft Access was unable to create a MDE database"
Is there any limit on the size of the file? What should i do or check?
When I click the Create MDE button I get the error message You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'MySysAccessStorage'.
I am a user who has been making some improvements to our database. Now that I want to test the improvements I need to create an mde, but can't.
The database was created in Access 2003 and I am now using Access 2007 on windows 2010. The original developer advised that we continue to use mde format - something to do with the runtime version everyone else who uses the database have.what I need to do to convert my mdb to an mde?
Before anybody says anything about it, no, my MS Access is not corrupt, and I don't need to reinstall, or update or anything like that.
Now, to the problem...... I have a union query that in essence ties 4 tables together. The query works great! Here's the issue...... When I try to create a data access page using the wizard, I get an error msg saying wizard was unable to create data access page. If I try to create in design view, I cannot view the fields of my union query to add to the data page.
I am including 2 databases..... the first one, called "union" contains the union query that will not work to create a data access page..... the second one, which is very similiar on the union query, just not as detailed does work. It is called "joined"
The only difference in these two union queries, is that I tried to include times for db"union", whereas for db"joined", I only calculated hours. I can make a data access page using the union query in db"joined", but not the union query in db"union"
I am working with a sub-form where once a staff member enters there sub measure I would want to create a duplicate of that record. The problem I am having is that once you enter the sub-form and click the duplicate button it creates a duplicate of the record selected but overwrites the first record in the table. I want it to create a new SubMeasure Number which is the primary key and assigns the record the next available number.
Also if I try to add another record after one has been added I get runtime error "3021" - No current record. I would have to close the form and reopen for it to be able to add again.
I have attached the code below:
Private Sub cmdDuplicate_Click()Dim dbs As DAO.Database, Rst As DAO.Recordset Dim F As Form 'Return Database variable pointing to current database Set dbs = CurrentDb Set Rst = Me.RecordsetClone
I am trying to create duplicate records from a main form frmManagers which has a subform frmSubMeasure. I have placed the duplicate button on the main form. It creates a duplicate of the main form data and gives me the option to add new record to the sub. I want the duplicate to be created on the sub form for me to just edit the scores.
I don't know how to pass the sub form data to be duplicated I thought the append query which I used would update the tblSubMeasure table which created the subform frmSubMeasure. In the sub the append query do update the form with the new MeasureID from the mainform and the form is available to enter new data. I want the subform data to be duplicated as well
In the query I included all the fields from the tblSubMeasure table and this is appended to the same table tblSubMeasure and I place a tag on the MeasureID using "[Forms]![frmManagers].[Tag]"
Code: Private Sub btnDuplicate_Click() Dim dbs As DAO.Database, Rst As DAO.Recordset Dim F As Form 'Return Database variable pointing to current database. Set dbs = CurrentDb Set Rst = Me.RecordsetClone
I want to create a main menu page for my database. I have tried the Navigation form and obviously I am doing something wrong....because the tabs won't open the forms. We have Access 2010 at work and I would like to create something similar to this:
Cardinal Rap - Main Menu
[button] Input Monthly data This button would take me to another screen that would list the tables for appropriation, expenditures and revenue, each with their own respective button
[button] Reports This button would take me to another screen that would would list the reports available each with their own respective button
[button] Monthly reconciliations
This button would take me to another screen that would list the tables necessary for my monthly reconciliations each with their own respective button that open that table.
The tabs in the Navigation form don't seem to do anything.
I have tried to create an MDE database and receive the message "Microsoft Access was unable to create an MDE database" I deleted all unnecessary tables, queries, forms and reports and still receive this message.
I am trying to create a database by compiling records from multiple excel sheets. however, since most of the clients still uses the excel sheets to enter records, I am thinking if it's possible to create a linked table in access from these excel sheets that are hosted on an online server.
also is it possible to merge multiple linked tables together? if they have the same field range, so they will append when the linked tables gets updated.
I am trying to create a form to enter data in a table. I would like to make it pull in info from a switchboard. If the record already exists I would like it to find it and allow me to edit the info. If the record doesn't exist I would like to be able to add a new record with the data input. What is the best way to accomplish this?
I created a database and I manage to split it into front end and backend. now I'm going to make an EXE of the front end.My question is when I open the front end, I need the database to be empty, and them create a button that will make the user select which project he wants to open (backend).I also need to create a button that will create a new empty backend and save it as a new project.
I have created a query (Weekend) from 2 other querys (BCV & Daily Sales). The BCV & Daily Sales queries work fine but when they are added together I am unable to add new records. I only have 1 line of data that can not be updated. I thought it was a relationship problem and have been and double checked all the relationships but can't see an error. Heres a screen shot if it will help!
I have a data entry form via which I want to add records to a table. However, when I've entered data in the last field, the cursor remains there and the system just beeps. I added a command button on the form to go to a new record but when I click on the button i get the following message:-
I have main form("client Status") which contains information about client order and showing the calculations. The subform is also there for receiving the payment from client. I would like to get the sum of amount received(from sub from) and would like to show it on main form that how much amount received from a client. As payment received from client the form should be updated automatically by showing the sum of amount received.
how to take sum of particular field in subform using vba and storing it in main form field.the forms are created from tables and there is no unbound field.
Created three tables and one linking table, created two queries linked to a form to display the results and have now setup the code to display details. Next step to create a form to add a new record to the database.
Initially I used the form wizard, dragged the fields in and then viewed the form to see if I could add a record.However the new record button at the bottom is greyed out.I checked the Form properties and allow editions, deletions and edits are all set to yes.the source for the form is:
and it is a dynaset record set type.So I thought ( dangerous I know) use a query, I created the query setup the joins etc etc.I double clicked on the query and all my records were listed, I then selected the new record and the bottom but that is greyed out as well.
The Word attachment describes recent problems I have encountered, most significantly, the inability to save changes on certain forms. the questions, listed at the end of the document, are:
a) How can I identify which objects are corrupt other than assuming it is only those that wont save changes?
b) What is the best way to overcome the inability to make form changes on certain forms and reports?
c) How or can I continue to use the Students Extended query with different criteria for different forms, other queries or reports. Can I create (advanced) filter queries and use as a record source for each as needed?
d) Do the messages about the PC making changes or placing the database in states have any bearing and why is that happening?
e) What causes and how can I prevent messages that fields could refer to more than table (see 2, D, vi)?
Not sure if someone has come accross this probelm but I am unable to link/import tables from excel or text files. I am able to import tables from other databases but as soon as I want to import an excel file it seems that the import wizard simply doesn't exist. re-installed office several times but to no avail. Access/office 2003 running on windows 2000 sp 4 Microsoft help is no of use.
I am also running 97 on my pc and have no problems here. :confused:
I have two databases. One is 'live', one is for development. Once i get something working in the latter, I import it into the former. This has been working fine for just over two months.
Today, however, i'm trying to import a form and get one of the following messages:
I have created a database with approx ten tables with many queries (make table and append and delete queries). I need to compact this database as I would normally do (usually deal with databases of 500MB and more with no issue) however after over an hour I still get the message 'not responding'. I have tried creating a new one from scrath and get the same issue. Can anyone help please?
I'm using A2003 to try and create an mde file but it is not playing ball. The mdb is compiling fine with no errors but when I click on "make mde file" and supply the path/filename, Access appears to try to open the mdb again and prompts me with a security warning saying that 'opening this type of file may be harmful.....etc'. The mde does not get created. Any ideas?
